52 electric windows and single pane help

Anyone had experience with the electric windows in a 52 and how difficult is the instl.?

How about single pane experience, difficulties and draw-backs?

While we are at it how about electrict door locks?

Single windows in 52

You suggest soldering wires and how much harder to install than original vent window and regular window which is not easy?

OLD F-1 hooked me up with a better wireless connection.Go to ebay and look for the hummer ball & socket switchs. Should have no troubles out of them.I have rebuilt the vent windows. Lots of work !!!!! Its cheaper to install the solid glass. But Classic Haulers has the stuff to do it right.But i did have my vent windows chromed and that added cost to go that RT. good luck and PM me if you need help.

Could you be more specific about these ball and socket switches or post a link? I searched ebay and didn't find anything.

to post a link:
first find the page you want to post a link to. while on that page highlite the url in the address bar at the top of the page. It will start with www. or http.
With the entire address highlighted (sometimes they are quite long and run past the end of the box, so be sure you get all of it) copy it by holding down the control key and pressing the C key.
Now come back here and make your post after clicking on the "advanced" button. When you want to insert your link, click the insert link icon (looks like a small globe with a chain link at the front bottom. Look for it just above the message box you are writing your post in, right below the black and white smilie face. A box will pop up asking you to put in your link. To paste in your link, simply hold down the control key and press the V key. The address you copied earlier will appear in the box. Click OK and the address will appear in your post in blue and underlined. Finish and post your message as usual. If someone clicks on the blue text in your post, they will be sent to the page you linked.
